About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.

About M HKA Ensembles

The M HKA Ensembles represent our first steps towards initiating the public to today's art-related digital landscape. With the help of these new media, our aim is to offer our artworks a better and fuller array of support for their presentation and public understanding.

The application has been fully developed in-house at the M HKA, and is easily accessible via a wide range of devices: smartphones, tablets and desktop computers.

This public version is no island unto itself; it is enframed within a larger digital whole. The content comes directly from the ‘ensemble bank’, a broadly-supported working platform that encourages diverse layers of meaning around the artworks. Production unit, curators, procurement policy (external as well): each has its role to play. In this way, visitors are just 1 click away from this informative database as they amble through the exhibition rooms. M HKA is determined to extend this exercise in the years to come, and so even further enhance the visitor’s experience.
